I have an Ionic breeze air purifier, that I have used through the summer and since I installed
my stove, I decided to aim it towards the air vents on the side where the combustion blower is.
I have noticed by cleaning it every time I clean the burn pot that it collects a lot of dust.
My thought is that this will help eliminate some dust bunnies from building up on stove motors.
Only time will tell, after the burn season is over & I perform my spring teardown cleaning.
Any input or thoughts from ye pros? Would it be better aimed at combustion blower or convection blower?
It does put out a cool breeze, so it may help prolong motor life.
I like the idea that it's helping to clean dust out of the air, especially since I'm not using that old forced air oil furnace anymore.
 
Would like to get one for the house but a decent one is $400-500... not $$ I can afford on that.
 
I use a large Lasko Humidifier. No Air Pruifier. Although it may be a good idea....

Where abouts you located ifixmy2 ??? And what pellet brands do you have in your area (better brands that you like)??

I am right on the corner of Ashland Co, Lorain Co, and Medina Co.. I live inside Ashland co, but Lorain and Medina are only 1 mile away.
